very happy with that start to the season, especially in the 1st Innings with half my overs being maidens! also very happy with my batting (believe it or not ) with two very different innings, ill explain more in my diary.

congrats to halsey with a great effort and also to Mike with a 50 on deBUT and to bryce with some wickets (including a key wicket in the first innings ) in his first game.

95! My roommate doesn't really get cricket yet, but I've met his friends and one of them was nearlly married to someone English... I didn't ask .

I'm looking forward to a great month, I didn't stay after the Charity Games I came out here found a great Manhatten apartment and looked around the Big Apple. I made 2 catches and then woah... a great kit a huge stadium great fans and great players.

A great list of players in the match.

DP Towns, A Ferd, AP Chaulk myself, NL Patrick and TC Halsey. 2 test players and many other good players.

I must be start to get into the swing of things abit, 27 with the bat and 2 wickets i'll take just about any day. Good innings by PY at the top of the order (also picked up a wicket!), Well played again to Halsey too.

You better starting hitting your straps Bob, Indiana vs NY is just around the corner .
